RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING
REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVING A MASTER PRODUCT
AND SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PALLET SPC
WHEREAS, on August 18, 2021, the Chula Vista Homeless Outreach Team conducted a
point in time count, CVCounts2021, which identified a total of 792 homeless persons within the
City; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that the number of homeless is significant, and these persons
are without the ability to obtain shelter and at risk of injury and harm due to exposure to the
elements and other health, safety, and welfare-related circumstances and consequences associated
with living outside; and
WHEREAS, such homeless overnight lodging in public spaces also has an adverse effect
on the health and safety of the people in the City, including the homeless population; and
WHEREAS, the City Council affirms the City of Chula Vista’s commitment to combatting
homelessness and creating or augmenting a continuum of shelter and service options for those
living without shelter in our communities; and
WHEREAS, unauthorized homelessness encampments are increasing across the City of
Chula Vista within the public right-of-way, which are exposing homeless individuals to traffic
hazards, crime, risk of death and injury, exposure to weather, lack of adequate sanitation and debris
services, and other conditions that are detrimental to their health and safety; and
WHEREAS, analysis and evidence have demonstrated that providing decent, safe, and
stable housing combined with crucial support services are two primary components of successful
transition from homelessness to a safer and healthier way of living; and
WHEREAS, as provided by the CARES Act, recipients of CARES Act funding may
deviate from the applicable procurement standards (e.g., 24 CFR 576.407(c) and (f) and 2 CFR
200.317-200.326) when procuring goods and services to prevent, prepare for, and respond to
coronavirus; and
WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal code section 2.56.070.B.3 provides for an exception
to the City’s competitive bidding requirements for contracts for supplies and services over
$100,000 where the City’s interests would be materially better served by applying a different
purchasing procedure approved by the Purchasing Agent as being consistent with good purchasing
practices; and

WHEREAS, due to the emergency shelter crisis and the immediate threat to public health,
safety, and welfare of Chula Vista residents, City staff recommends waiving the competitive
bidding requirements, as supported and authorized by Resolution 2018-199 as extended by
Resolution 2021-165 establishing an Emergency Shelter Crisis Declaration, to ensure staff can
implement expeditious efforts to develop shelter solutions that are safe and meet basic habitability
standards and increased capacity; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent has the reviewed proposed purchasing procedure and
the terms and conditions of the agreement and finds them to be consistent with market rates and
good purchasing practices.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista,
that it approves the 2021 Master Product and Services Agreement, between the City and Pallet
SPC, in the form presented, with such minor modifications as may be required or approved by the
City Attorney, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the Office of the City Clerk, and authorizes
and directs the Mayor or the City Manager to execute same.
